INNOVATION DRIVES QUEENSLAND SPONSORSHIP

ATEC Rail Group (ARG) was delighted to sponsor the 2016 Regional Achievement & Community Awards’ Innovation and Leadership Award.

This year's awards drew a number of outstanding entries showcasing innovative thinking, workplace risk taking, initiative, and corporate and community leadership. The stand-out entrant in the ATEC Rail Group Innovation and Leadership Award was Kristy Sparrow from Alpha in regional Queensland.

Kristy has dedicated the past two years to BIRRR (Better Internet for Rural, Regional and Remote Australia) following her experiences with problematic internet connection, speed and cost. Kristy’s vision was to improve internet facilities for thousands of families across the State. Her advocacy and successful lobbying resulted in Telstra providing unmetered internet service for education sites, and the BIRRR Facebook page now has more than 7,000 members. Kristy Sparrow was an obvious choice for this year’s ATEC Rail Group Innovation and Leadership Award.

The Innovation and Leadership Award acknowledges community role models who demonstrate innovative thinking, excel with leadership qualities, and whose inspiration paves the way for others to follow.

Innovation is one of ARG’s key brand attributes. We believe leaders and innovators should be recognised for their contribution and impact on regional Queensland communities.
